Why? I don't even...I've never understood people like you, feeling this way over stuff you can just ignore...? I've never felt this way about anything since if I'm not interested in it, it doesn't take up space in my head...

I for one am excited to try it.

Mods, really? If this isn't flame baiting, I'm lost (yes, this will get me an infraction probably).

OT: Yes, you're ignorant.

Don't worry, look at his recent posts. They're all the same. There's nothing wrong with Blizzard having a side project that will probably actually be really good, along with being a "gateway drug" for people that will eventually lead them into WoW and the rest of the Blizzard universes.

They've tried to make sure we all know that this is just a side thing, a little lolzy project. It's going to be on iPad so there's your clue that it's not quite the same calibre as their usual AAAAA++++++ games

Nah, it looks entertaining enough, I'm willing to give it a look, depends really on how much nickel and dime DLC, Blizzard store they try to do with it,the less the better. However..I'd love to see them do Warcraft 4 someday, although given Blizzards LONG delays between games, I won't hold my breath there.

Blizzard saw and opportunity and grabbed it. People freaking LOVE card games like that. I really don't see much draw, but from a marketing perspective, it's a gold mine. Having my hands in a number of gaming and game design melting pots, it was a perfect idea.

Not excited about it, might play it for 5 minutes and than put it down, but that doesn't mean it should be scrapped at all. It's just a side project they put some leftover guys on. Whats wrong with that? Might as well make some money on it.

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn

It's been a while since Blizzard steered away from known territories and tried something that was not safe. While I still think this game is redundant, as MTG and Duels 2014 is simply a better experience altogether, I'm convinced it will entertain plenty of people who like the Warcraft universe. If it gets more people into card games, then I'm all for it.

anyone else feel this way? i feel like this is one of blizzards april fools jokes that just won't go away. i just have trouble seeing the line up of WoW, Diablo 3, Starcraft II, then Hearthstone? Meh

maybe im just ignorant.

This feels like fishing for bad reactions.

Hearthstone looks grand, a good side game if you wish to calm a bit. And they didn't hardly touch the WoW programmers team, it was a very small and selected group that made this game. It's a good addition to the family really. Some people enjoy cardgames, you know. You don't have to groan loudly because you don't like it, we understand that some people don't like people exploring new things.

Yes, maybe you are ignorant then.

People like complaining.

In general, people complain that they have to do stuff to get stuff. Be it payment of a subscription or actually levelling their characters. Lately, there's been too much whining about such. Tired of it. So, I think that Hearthstone will be a good place when you wish to flee from some people. And yes, it is F2P - so there you go, your free Blizzard game.

Stuff can be fixed, just get enough glue or duct tape!Roses are red, mana is blue. Suramar Guards, Will always find you!

Coming into a game forum to say the game should have been scrapped is not a good way to start a thread. Maybe if you'd actually had some arguments about what it is exactly that you don't like about the game we could have had a reasonable discussion, provided you had framed your post better then to call the game an April Fool's Joke. This thread isn't going to get to anything productive so I'm closing it.
